Airport, high speed Internet problem

Hello guys
Let me tell you what i'm was facing before the change happened and the issue started.
I was connecting my macbook pro 13 to my 5mg speed Internet thro the router wirelessly. it was going perfect with no pre loading the page. Also i connect my ps3 to it and my phone, and still no problems. however, i wanted more speed, so i upgrade my Internet with 50mg speed. the first day it was going amazing while i'm connecting wirelessly. even speedtest.net was giving me the full speed. but the second day it started. it takes so long to open a page, youtube for example. even when its opened it doesn't show me the pre picture of some videos . and when i open the video its take soo much to pre load the clip, i mean not even loading the clip , but when its start it can run 1080 with no problem.
So when i called the Internet provider they tolled me to open any page and run youtube clips on my ipod, it's runs faster then my macbook pro. not even a second to run a youtube clip. and they said its may be my airport card having an issue running a fast high speed Internet. even thou when i connect my macbook by wire its goes fine but with less time to pre-load the page. but still it looks like running on DSL connection.
Any suggestions to solve the problem ?
and sorry for making it so long to read

also even thou it took time to open a page but when i download a file it, the downloading speed of only that file goes like what it should be.

I just set up an Optus Cisco DPQ3925 wireless router to access higher speed internet I signed up for. I have a 4th gen airport extreme I want to put in another room and use as a wifi extender the wifi but I get an error message each time I try. Help?

Hello all.
I have just set up a new cisco DPQ3925 wireless router that Optus sent me to be able to access the higher speed internet I have signed up for.
I have a 4th gen apple extreme that I want to use to extend the wifi but when I try to update the settings via the airport utility I get a message that says it cannot do so, and to check it is in range and the wifi is set up correctly. I'm not experienced with these things but I can't think what I have done wrong.
Is anybody able to help me please.

You cannot use the AE to extend wireless from a non apple router such as your cisco modem router.. they are not compatible..
You need to tie to the two devices together either with ethernet or something like EOP adapters.. They are about $120 and you can price match in officeworks.

How can I stop spam from someone called AT&T High Speed Internet? I do not know what the email address is.

I am receiving 100's of spam emails. They are all advertising different types of products but they all say they are from AT&T High Speed Internet. I have used the junk filter on them but it does not pick them up as junk. I have to do it manually each time. I have contacted my UVerse provider and they cannot assist because it is getting through Yahoo to Thunderbird. They say that it is a problem that I will have to have assistance from Thunderbird to resolve so that I can have this listed as junk and will not have to do this manually. I am at my wit's end. Please, please help me!

Yahoo has its own junk mail filter (Spamguard), which you should confirm is enabled:
* [https://help.yahoo.com/kb/mail/stop-spam-yahoo-mail-sln3227.html Mail Help | - SLN3227 - Stop spam in Yahoo Mail]
The significance of this is that marking messages as junk in Thunderbird probably isn't integrated with Yahoo's system, so Yahoo may not be getting trained to block them. You might need to go into Yahoo from time to time and mark accumulated junk as spam.
Separately, there are solutions for filtering spam on your computer as the mail is downloaded from Yahoo. Thunderbird has a built-in filter, as described here: [[Thunderbird and Junk / Spam Messages]]. However, if that isn't as effective you would like, there are third party products as well.

How can I set up a home wireless network with Comcast high speed internet?

I just signed up for Comcast High Speed Internet. I was able to get my Power Mac onto the internet. However, I connected my Airport Extreme and am unable to get it to recognize that I have an internet connection. I want to set up a wireless network in my apartment. Comcast tech support said that I only have one IP address.
Any suggestions as to how I can get my wireless network up and going? Thanks!

Should I change set up so that cable goes from the cable modem directly to Airport Extreme and then use the ports on the Extreme to run Ethernet Cable to Power Mac and other devices?
Yes
As an aside, would this setup allow me to hook my iBook up to Airport via Ethernet cable and let it get into Internet that way?
Yes

How do I setup high speed internet on Sun Solaris 10?

Hello,
I have comcast high speed internet. It doesn't work automatically. How can I setup my high speed internet connection to work with Sun Solaris 10?

Pickup a broadband router, made by dlink, linksys, netgear, SMC or Cisco. If possible get a wireless with 4 port switch built in. This will give you added flexibility if you happen to get another system or a wireless laptop. You want a gateway router that does NAT, SPI firewall, DHCP.
Plug it into your cable modem then into your sun box, default settings on the router will generally self configure to the broadband you connect to and there will be no problems. However if you are using a DSL or bigpond they require a username and password to get the line active, this requires an initial login to the firewall to pick PPoE on the WAN side.
Different brands default to different 'non routeable' internal IP's, all are 192.168.x.x, smc defaults to 192.168.1.x or 192.168.2.x depending on release date, Linksys defaults to 192.168.2.x as does linksys, Netgear defaults to 192.168.1.x, the owners manual will usually tell you this.
They are generally made to default to a windows box so configuring a unix box has to be done either manually or with the dhcp option. www.dslreports.com has alot of good vendor specific information on configuring these things.
At any rate you need to create a file in /etc called 'defaultrouter' with the routers IP address, in the smc case it would be 192.168.2.1, pick a couple of outside DNS servers and put them in a file in /etc called resolv.conf in the format
nameserver xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
nameserver xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
copy nsswitch.dns nsswitch.conf
pick an address in the 192.168.2 range like .25 and add it in the /etc/hosts file, create a hostname.hme0 file with the host name thats in the hosts file and reboot.
Then try to ping the router, if no ping then the chang the 3td octet 1 instead of 2 and try again.
I've never tried doing the .dhcp thing but I've never used dhcp for a sun box before because all I do is servers.
I think I'd try the DHCP thing first then get to the router to get all it's information and write it down. Usually the ISP will populate the router with dns servers and any dns requests are answered by the router in the dhcp configuration. I think thats about it...

Unable to activate my high speed internet account with a mac os 10.5

I have a big problem with the activation of my line. I have subscribed to high speed internet.
The agent came to my house to install the jack but when I'm trying to run the installation on my computer with the cd or directly with internet it's stops when smart acces opens (I have a Mac OS X 10.5). Could somebody help me ? Thanks

In almost all cases, internet is "plug and play" on newer computers.
If you need to install filters, they need to go between the phone and the jack for every phone you have on the same line as the DSL. The modem does not get a filter.
If you need to set up your username and password, you will need to log in with your default Verizon-assigned id. If you were not given this, then contact tech support and ask for your "vzid" and have them reset your password. You should then be able to log into verizon.net and click on the My Account page. On the My Account page, you can set your username, create sub accounts, manage your billing, add an alias to your account, etc.
Does that cover what you needed, or is there something more?

Connecting to High Speed Internet - I am not a Crook!

Ok, first of all, you're going to have to hear me out. I think technically what I'm trying to do is illegal, but in the real world I think its perfectly justified...
I have cable internet at home that I pay for and enjoy. My computer is the only computer in the house and thus the only one using the service. Right now I am house sitting with my girlfriend and have brought my computer with me, thus leaving my cable internet hookup behind at home unused. I'm connecting to the internet here with a dialup connection account that the owners of the house have and the slowness is driving me crazy.
I thought that if I brought my cable modem with me and hooked their cable into it I would be able to get access to the high speed internet - which I think I am justified in doing since I am paying for the service and it is going unused at home. The only problem is it doesn't seem to be working. The cable modem has a green light for "cable" but nothing for "data", and everytime I try to go to a website it either asks me to dial in to the dialup service or work offline.
At home I know that we have the same cable for our TV as we do for my internet because in my room where the computer normally is I have a small TV (for viewing with Premiere) that we also pay to have a cable connection into and the cable guy merely split the cable to go both into my computer and my TV.
Is there something they would normally have to switch on outside to make the cable work for the internet as well? I'm not interested in messing with that, I'm just wondering why its not working here.
Darcy

Oddly enough, I was in paying for my cable and asked (in a roundabout way) about the possibilities of hooking up at another house and what was the deal about splitting the line and getting basic cable without paying for it.
The answers I got were basically...
When you sign up for cable modem, you are renting a port, that prot can go anywhere, it's not stealing if you only use it from one place and can only get detected if it's on in two places.
When you subscribe to cable modem, the basic cable is inherent in the signal. In my case (comcast), you can opt for a package that includes basic cable and the internet service for the same price as the internet port alone. They know people split the cable and hook it up to their TV, some installers go ahead and do that as a service. If the installer runs two cables into the house, it's simply split upline somewhere, it doesn't really accomplish anything.
It was almost like talking to the limo driver in the Wayne's World movie. Too much information...

New to Macs AND high speed internet. I'm a little unsure of what I'm doing.

I just bought my first iBook yesterday, and today my roommate subscribed to our local cable high speed internet. I'd like to configure a wireless network for both of us to use. Problem is, I have the Mac, and she has a desktop PC. Is there a way for the two to use the same wireless connection?
I'm sorry if this sounds like an elementary question, but I just want to make sure that I'm doing the right thing and that I get the right equipment. Thanks in advance for any help you all can give me.

Yes, you can use the same internet connection with a wireless router. Once the router is configured for your ISP (most have "Wizard setup" discs for PCs...from the Mac side you can use your browser to set it up) the iBook should find it and ask if you want to join the network. Just get a 802.11b/g compliant router.

E52 - High Speed internet

Hi All
Strange problem here, i am using my e52 to connect to the internet through my PC. When i use 3g, everything works. As soon as i enable high speed 3.5g (HSDPA) the following happens:
* I can surf the internet for 1 - 2megs, then it stops working (dns problems)
* Skype continues to work and i can chat and make video calls
* tracert fails after the first hop
I called my service provider thinking there was a problem with the HSDPA network in the area, they send someone out, he tested with a USB modem and it worked well, he also checked all the settings .ect on the phone/pc & left with a confused look on his face. We also swapped SIM cards.
checked other things like good signal, latest software patches, drivers
Any one have any other ideas besides sending the phone in?

@hadimassa
What you have said is true as well but not going in to the technical details of telecommunication,
from a layman's point of view,
personal observation, my e52 maximum speed is like 48KB/S ( .35 to .5 mb/s) downloading give or take.
Enabling the 3.5G features on the phone does not increase my download speed but instead may be slower.
Using the same GSM provider USB dongle, speeds can be above 1mb/s ADVERTISED UP TOP TO 3.2mb/s. using form the same location
I firmly believe GSM operators lock down the speed to mobile handsets at least in Tmoble (UK)
My brothers 3network speed is way faster.(3.5g)
So I just think if you buy an internet package form them with the high speed enabled you may be able to utilize that speed unless they lock down the Mac address for the USB stick.
But again depends on the area were you are and the availability of such high speed internet.

"High Speed Internet isn't available at your address"

Hi,
We're looking to rent a house that is on a large piece of property in our town. This house has never been rented before and served as a guest house of sorts for the much larger house on the same property. The owner of this larger house has Verizon Fios service, and the whole town is served well with Verizon (we're a suburb of Los Angeles so not in the boonies at all).
Because this house has never had service before I am trying to figure out if we can get high speed internet there. I looked online and it told me that high speed internet is unavailable, but I don't know if this is something that is decisive or just because there has never been service at this house before so it doesn't show up online.
My question is whether Verizon is able and willing to install cable or dsl service in this location--as it is only a matter of extending it ether from the main house (halfway to the street) or from the street itself.
My wife and I depend on high speed internet for both work and entertainment, so this is a deciding factor in our taking this otherwise excellent house.
The owner says that because she has Verizon FIOS it shouldn't be a problem to extend service to the other house, but I want to check to see if this is something that can and would be done.
Thanks for any guidance you can provide.

Thanks for the helpful replies!

High Speed Internet? That's False

High speed internet? That's false. I ordered this "bundle" thinking both I and my family would enjoy high quality internet connection and a good phone service. One that I can count on? That's yet another false statement. I must admit, the phone service is great; however, the internet is simply a joke. One cannot connect to anything. This is not something that has happened once or twice, this is daily. One simply tries to connect to simple things such as Google, and it won't work. For example: my son tries to play games, whenever he tries to, it won't connect. This is not what I'm paying for. This hasn't been happening for a day, a month, this has been happening for years. Since the day I got this. Don't bombard me with answers as if this is a problem on my side. If no one is willing to help, and solve this, I will be switching to Charter rather quickly.

Hi Dr. Alejandsur,
I could not agree with you more. Unfortunately, I don't have any advice for fixing the problem. But, then, neither does Verizon. I know a few people who have Charter and are happy with it. Maybe I should check into it too.

High Speed Internet Install Hangs

Another user already posted this problem but I seem unable to reply to that thread.
I am having *exactly* the same problem, namely:
Today is my Service Ready Date. I opened a browser and got the 'activation page', entered my line number, then got to download the verizon high speed internet installer for mac. Once I opened this I got to set up a username/password, then the installer went through a series of checks, and finally gets to 'saving settings for *******@verizon.net', where it says 'Please Wait, This step could take up to 3 minutes'. And it just hangs at that point. I waited for an hour and nothing happened. I tried again later with the 'resume installation' alias that was created when I quit the installer, and it jumps straight to that step as expected, but hangs again.
What could be causing this? I'm using a mac with MacOS 10.6, the modem is a Westell 7500, and the plan I've chosen is the 3MBs.
Thanks for any help!
Note: I copied the original poster's description of the problem because it is accurate in my case, revising only the OS version to reflect my own.

Update: 12 hours later. Still not solved.
Utterly appalling.
After 20 minutes on hold waiting for a second support chat, then a 20 minute chat during which the rep repeatedly asked for information I'd already given, and then congratulated me and told me the service was working (it is not) ... the rep finally conceded they could not help me and said a Mac rep would call me on the phone in "20-30 minutes."
It's 90 minutes later. No follow up, no call.
On my own I have re-started modem, re-started computer, trashed preferences for that Verizon activation software.
The last seemed to help.
Each time it got a little further.
Eventually it assured me I had completed the activation process. It gave me a confirmation.
Meantime Verizon has also e-mailed me saying congratulations, my service is up.
But when I try to connect to any page through the DSL in a browser, I keep being re-directed the Verizon activate / welcome page (which, believe me, I am pretty tired of seeing by now.)
https://activate.verizon.net/launch/welcome
... if I follow those steps, it tried to download the software *again* and start all over.
Seems I am in an inescapable loop. Can I really be the only one who's had this problem?
I have now three times "activated" my internet service and still I am re-directed to the "activate" page.
I can only say, at this point, I wish there were an alternative to this terrible company.

Hourly disconnects from High Speed Internet Enhanced

Hello all, I have verizon high speed internet enhanced and have not had any problems at all with the internet since I had a verizon tech. install it. However, since 4 days ago my actiontec GT740 WGB router has been constantly disconnecting from the internet on an hourly basis. It happens up to 5 times an hour, with the disconnectiong lasting about 10-15 seconds. Now, this may not provide much of a problem, but I bought the internet basicly for my xbox 360. I cannot complete full games online versus other players because of these interuptions 'causes me to lose connection and ultimately lose the game.
Verizon HSI Enhanced download - 10.1mbps
Verizon HSI Enhanced upload - 0.8mbps
I have only had my verizon for a few weeks now, but up until now it has been working extremely well. I'm a bit disappointed now, because I have read and heard of this problem, and was hoping not to encounter it.

Hello,
When you notice the disconnect, are the router lights turned off? Outside of playing games on the XBOX does your computer lose a connection as well?
Please send me a private message if you still need assistance.

I to have been having the same problem for months and I get ABSOLUTELY no where when I contact customer service. I have tried the reboot and everything else. I am really considering switching carriers at this point. I have even pulled out the old blue ethernet cord to try and accomplish SOMETHING. This is ridiculous. I to pay a high cost for this service and NEVER seem to get it bit YET, Comcast wants their payment monthly!!!cpakker wrote:

I do not have a high speed internet connection. How can I get Mountain Lion on a disk for install?

I do not have a high speed internet connection. How can I get Mountain Lion on a disk for install on my 24" Imac?

As long as you use your Apple ID to purchase it, I don't see why they wouldn't let you download the installer on one of their Macs and put it on a pocket drive.
Or, a friend with a high speed connection?
I agree with you about the delivery method, just trying to help you get what you want.
